Recipes

Cioppino is a classic seafood stew whose origins can be traced to the Italian fishers of San Francisco. And unlike many fishermen’s stews that are thick and tomato-based, this one relies on fish stock (or clam broth) and just a hint of tomato, plus the unmistakable flavors of fennel and crushed red pepper flakes, to create a gently perfumed, aromatic broth with a bit of a kick. The final crowning touch is the addition of one of the Northwest’s iconic fish, fresh halibut, which perches atop the cioppino.

When you have a banner day crabbing you're going to find yourself in the enviable position of having a ton of crabmeat on your hands. Cooking the pasta in the crab cooking water will infuse the pasta with essentially a crab stock, significantly increasing the flavor of the final dish.

Preparation & Cooking Tips

Steamed Crab Legs

Most frozen crab legs are already pre-cooked so they will just need to be heated. When cooking frozen crab legs, we recommend that you place them in a colander or steamer over rapidly boiling water. The pot should be about 1/3 full of water. You will need to cover the pot and steam your frozen crab legs for 4 minutes.

Boiled King Crab Legs

To boil crab legs, simply fill a large sauce pan half full of cold water and bring to a boil. Add a tablespoon of salt and the seasoning of your choice, if any. When the water begins to boil, add the crab legs and reduce heat to medium. Allow them to simmer for about four minutes. Take the crab legs out of the water, rinse, and they will be ready to eat.

Baked King Crab Legs

To bake crab legs, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Place the crab legs in a shallow baking pan in single layers. Place hot water in the pan about 1/8 of an inch deep. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for eight to ten minutes.

Grilled King Crab Legs

To grill crab legs you need to brush olive oil on all sides of the crab legs to prevent them from sticking. Then place the crab legs on a hot grill of 300 degrees for about five minutes, turn over and cook for another five minutes until they are heated all the way through. Remove from the grill and serve with butter or sauce.
